Anyone use Ruckus Wireless routers?

Looking to toy around with a r500, but it's got the unleashed firmware loaded so it doesn't work without a controller. Anyone have access to the Ruckus support site and able to grab the r500 standalone firmware for me?

TIA

Just a decent quality business focused wireless device. Similar to Ubiquiti UniFi, but supposedly better. We run Ubiquiti in our environment, but am considering a switch to Ruckus and wanted to tinker with this AP I've got lying around. Can't seem find the firmware floating around the web other than on the Ruckus site with the files inaccessible to people without a support login so I'm hoping a fellow maggot geek with a Ruckus support login will see this and be willing to hook a brother up w/ the firmware.

The Ruckus R500 802.11ac indoor access point delivers the ideal combination of capacity, reliability, and affordability for medium-density locations. It’s the only 802.11ac AP in its class that includes patented Ruckus antenna optimizations and interference mitigation technologies—the same ones used in our premier high-density APs—in a low-profile form factor designed and priced for smaller venues.

In small and midsize businesses, hotels, retail outlets, branches, and other medium-density venues, the R500 delivers consistently great Wi-Fi experiences—at a price that makes sense.

Have you tried calling tech support?

Fuck. Missed the Breakfast Club reference.

To be fair, I noticed someone with a Bart Taylor avatar and his location listed as 'Helltrack' posting in a thread here yesterday and fond memories of Rad have taken over my mind.
